      This week I started looking into the assault on Jussie Smollett. I soon realized that many of the details that had been reported as fact, actually are complete fabrications. Several reports said he refused to turn over his phone records, for instance. Not true at all.

      I also checked for cameras in the area where the assault of Jussie Smollett took place. It has none. 98+% of all crimes in Chicago are not filmed by cameras. The notion that the assault not being filmed somehow suggests Jussie wasn't assaulted is ridiculous.

          I don’t think ppl are saying he wasn’t assaulted, I know I’m saying if you was assaulted then work with the police. The true story is already out but because of PR, they going with the fabrication. As black men we have to support black families, not this type of situation.

          You are telling people outright lies..This area of Chicago has cameras everywhere.. businesses, residential and hotel cameras! That part of the city is heavy on surveillance. I worked in that neighborhood! Stop lying to sell a narrative it’s gross and dangerous!

          .@Chicago_Police say they are combing through 100’s of hours of video to piece together every step #JussieSmollet made that night and given the amount of cameras where he was they say they’ll be able to do it. It’s just taking a lot of time and canvassing.

          Thank you! I’ve had to block people calling me horrible things because I think he’s telling the truth. They use “not on camera” as their fact it never happened. People sicken me.

          Probably because Chicago is one of the most survielled cities in the world. There are cameras everywhere outside of the hood. Not saying it didn’t happen, just explaining why people expect it to be on camera.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Welcome-to-Chicago-Most-Surveilled-City-in-the-World-89991502.html%3famp=y …

          That doesn't mean that they catch every crime. If people can shoot in New York City and get away. Surely someone can get jumped and it not get caught on camera

          True but Chicago is even more survielled than NYC. Of course there are inherent blind spots that people don’t account for.

          agree... I can’t fathom why someone with a nice peaceful career who is a positive energy would even think of faking something like this... the fact that people are so quick to say it’s fake is a sign of the times with people and it’s truly sad.

          We have cameras all over Chicago. Yet they see nothing relevant. Would love to see the stats on how many crimes they help solve versus the cost to install them.
